So you should make one URL or the other be a Redirect. Thanks for the quick response. What if I need http://www.dept.some.edu/group to go to the overview.html rather than the index.html in the /var/www/html/long/path/to/group directory, if adding 'overview.html' to DirectoryIndex in the httpd.conf file is not an option? I'd try Alias first. Failing that, I would try mod_rewrite next. So I tried Alias /group/index.html /var/www/html/long/path/to/group/overview.html When I go to http://www.dept.some.edu/group, I got page not found.
You could use AliasMatch ^/group/$ /var/www/html/log/path/to/group/overview.html Alias /group/ /var/www/html/log/path/to/group/ But why can't you use DirectoryIndex? This directive can be scoped inside <Directory> or <Location> sections and can also contain multiple filenames.
